Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Checklist 1-132 #132 sells for $441 against $7.35 raw: a $434 spread, 60× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($401) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
